terminology (suchas “bias” rather than “non-neutral”), relating bias to the responsibility of manufacturers toproduce safe products, use of real world problems with no single right answer, and examinationof technology as an embodiment of human will.In a typical class one finds that some students quickly buy into the concept of bias, while otherscling tenaciously to non-neutrality. The latter claim that obviously technology cannot be heldmorally responsible for the action a human user took with it. But that is not quite the claim I ammaking. I have found it useful to let this argument develop during class discussion so that I canpoint out that something can be biased without having agency. That is, technology can bias theuser (who does have agency

-stagetransistor amplifier circuit. Using this method, one can easily obtain a very large number (in thethousands) of possible design structures or concepts. One can then "prune” the tree and select the“best” possible design structure. This method can also be applied to other fields of engineering.1. IntroductionIn recent years, teaching engineering design is getting more attention in engineering education. Thisis due to the ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 initiatives, which have changed the way instructorsdelivered their courses. In electrical engineering, ABET requires that all electrical engineering coursesintegrate design throughout the curriculum, and now there is also a need to demonstrate outcomeassessment, and to check whether a program achieved

A mixed-methods approach to research wasapplied to gather comprehensive and valid information about students’ SRL strategies. Theobjectives of this preliminary study were to investigate high school students' design activitiesthat reflect their understanding of task demand and SRL strategies to accomplish the design taskfrom the perspective of design performance (i.e., high- and low- performing students) andgender. A better understanding of these issues will specifically benefit technology and pre-engineering educators as well as the high school curriculum developer.Students at a high school in Colorado participated in this preliminary study (n = 29); 22

paper explores the tensions or organizational polarities that are experienced by designengineers (hereby designers) in industries where mechanical engineering has a significantpresence in the product development. By examining how the designers uniquely experience andaddress polarities that affect their design work, this paper presents potential conceptualframeworks that highlight and integrate some of the pertinent, interdependent organizationalaspects. The ways in which organizational polarities affect and are addressed by the designers,also provide insights into the nature of a designer’s work that may not be captured in formalknowledge. Thus, new learning objectives are proposed to enhance both the design andmanagement education of

Exposing students toconstruction methods via software used in the field may help to soften the transition from theclassroom to the industry. Consequently, the authors proposed the use of fully-developed 3-Dmodels, based on accurate data, as an instructional tool which may simultaneously achieve threegoals: (1) Improve the facility with which the
